Families filed reports leading to three recent deficiencies in November 2025 regarding resident protection from abuse and neglect, improper use of restraints, and failure to properly investigate and report incidents - all currently uncorrected with no correction plan. Earlier issues from 2019-2023 involving care planning and incontinence care were corrected, but the unresolved complaint-triggered violations raise serious concerns about current resident safety practices.
